This hotel was such a great find. The kindest staff, affordable rates, right on the main street of Galata Tower. I came for work and was able to work in their lovely downstairs sitting room.

My only complaint was that they left the windows open in the sitting room to air out the smoke, so that when you come down to have coffee in the morning the sitting room is freezing. Also, my room was on the main street so if I wanted to leave my window open it would be so loud until early in the morning. That said, the windows are super thick, so if you close the windows it is calm and quiet.

The location of the hotel is great, Galata Tower is only 5 min away, Hagia Sofia is 45 min. The area is full of cafes, small souvenir shops, and restaurants with delicious local food. The staff was really nice and helpful, thanks to Ismael and other managers. The hotel is small and cozy, and the cafe on the first floor is really nice. We had water, fruit and tea inside the room, which was nice.

Our Delux room did not satisfy any of our needs and requests - no sound isolation, tiny bathroom, no fresh air because noises and cigarette smoke were coming from the garden area and we could not open the window, no view at all. The price we paid for this room did not match the comfort level we received, that is why I would recommend this hotel only in case you choose a bigger room with a view or balcony, or pay a very reasonable price.

The stay was great! The location is fantastic, close to the Galata tower and near Istiklal street, lots of food options nearby. There’s a cafe downstairs which has the best San Sebastián cheesecake (better than the more “famous” ones nearby. Being an old building, rooms with a street view are a little noisier at night, but nothing too crazy and no disturbed sleep. But really what made this place exceptional was the staff. Murat was always very helpful and Ismail went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Ismail’s recommendations were excellent, his advice and help on how to get around was invaluable. There was no request that was too much and the kindness and generosity was unparalleled.

The staff was exceptional (Murat and Ismail), and went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. Super helpful and friendly. There’s a cafe attached to it, which was very handy (there’s also a resident cat, so cute!) Very close to the Galata tower (that also means steep streets and inclines, but so is a big part of the city). Note that it’s located in a Main Street, with lots of cafes, restaurants, shops and souvenirs shops, so very busy, but felt safe because of all the movement.

Everything was great, but there was no elevator as it’s a historical property. We were on the top floor (4th), and that wasn’t really an issue for us, but I’d say ask for a room in lower floors if it’s a big deal to you.

The hotel is unique and chic, rooms is spacious and view is exceptional. The staff is really friendly and helpful, the receptionist Egnir was truly amazing, he helped us through out the stay with any essentials we needed, provided some good recommendations/tips and finally arranged for our transportation hassle free. The overall is experience is pleasant and worthy.

No elevator in the property as the building in 150 years old, might be difficult for older people.

We travel to Istanbul every year and this is the best hotel we've stayed at so far. Great location, we could easily go to any part of the city. The staff was very welcoming, always ready to help and recommend places to visit (thanks to them we had an amazing dinner at a really lovely place). We knew they do not serve breakfasts, but the café in the building has nice desserts, coffee and they gave us a discount. The room was clean, spacious and even though we had a little problem with wi-fi, the receptionist was ready to fix it immediately. It's a really nice cozy hotel with reasonable value for money. We'll definitely come back here.

Location is perfect. Rooms are tastefully decorated and despite being on a busy street we found it very quiet.Staff are very good in particular Ismael who is always trying to ensure everything is perfect for you. Coffee in the morning is complimentary on check in and check out,with freshly baked croissants. Both are excellent. Complimentary apples and soft drinks in the room. I can completely recommend the hotel.

A small recommendation would be shower caps in the bathroom, this would be helpful and tissues in the room. We had the deluxe room,the bathroom is small but sufficient.

I had a wonderful stay at World House Boutique Hotel Galata! The location is perfect—just a short walk from the iconic Galata Tower and surrounded by great cafes, shops, and local charm. The hotel has a stylish, artistic design that makes it feel both cozy and unique. My room was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated, making it a relaxing place to come back to after exploring the city. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. Mr. Erkan and Mr. Ismail were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout my stay. Their kindness and attentiveness made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Superb view over Galata Tower from my room. The hotel is easily accessible from any spot in Beyoglu neighborhood, the old Pera. The most important is that we managed to get to the hotel from the new airport using the two metro lines with minimal effort. From Sishane (M2) metro station to the hotel you only have to walk 10 minutes. Try to take the Istiklal exit from the station. When coming from the Galata bridge area us the Tunel funicular. The hotel it´s an old building, in fact two, carefully renovated to act as a small hotel. The only missing amenity was an elevator to take you to your floor after a whole day of strolling on the city streets. The staff is very helpful and always ready to give you advice for any matter. I spite of being a boutique hotel with few rooms the reception desk is staffed 24/7. For those arriving by car two big parking places are within 100m range, one outdoor right at the Galata Tower and a big multistorey garage on Ilk Belediye Caddesi.

The most exceptional was the kindness and service of the hotel staff. They were incredible supportive during our stay. Thank you so much. With the support of the staff we could quickly understand how to use the tram lines which are very close to the hotel.

There is nothing we did not like. What we think is good to know that there is no breakfast at the hotel. However we found it was not required at all as there is a cafe right in the ground floor of the hotel and it is easy to grab e.g. a simit (turkish bagel) everywhere you walk). We would definitely recommend this hotel for couples or single traveller. However, we would not recommend it for families with children due to the narrowness and many stairs (no elevator).
